Screwing in the last bolt of the new engineer’s desk, Dell stood and leaned on the structure to test it’s sturdiness. Smiling when it stood strong, then looked over to across the workshop where Taurie was moving boxes to free more space for the new arrival. For a moment Dell just watched, admiring the way he could see Taurie’s back muscles flex as he lifted. As the cow-man put down the box, finishing and wiping sweat off his brow, Dell decided to speak up.

“Thanks for fixin’ my sentry earlier, swear that sniper’s got somethin’ personal against me.” Dell said, smiling and giving a little chuckle so Taurie knew he was just jokin. It was awkward, but Dell had been awkward for a while now. Dell knew Taurie thought his awkwardness was from finding out about his bovine side, which perhaps had been the case for a while, yet at some point it had turned, and now, Dell was now a awkward mess because his heart desperately wanted to kiss Taurie. It was a difficult longing, one his brain advised against, knowing that he alone didn't have the time or sex drive to give Taurie all the love and attention he required being such a shy sweet thing, or at least he didn’t at the moment… maybe one day…

Still, though he knew he couldn’t have the man Dell longed for his company and opened his mouth to reply and further their small talk only for the conversation to fall flat as they both heard a truck pull up by the open workshop garage door. Glancing to the door then Taurie, Dell smiled and shrugged, leaving the desk to go over and greet the new Engie.

As Dell watched John exit the car he suddenly found himself more torn, as while he had come to adored Taurie’s body more with each passing day, he was a sucker for a big plush body, and John had a cute bashful little smile too… Taken off guard by how attractive their new engie was, Dell smiled cleared his throat, then stepped aside to let Taurie deal with him since apparently, he was just a gay mess today.

[dirty-dell]

Dell was having better luck getting the blood out. Having worked with a fair amount of Medics in his time, Dell was savvy to some of their secret blood stain removing ways, and kept the workshop stocked to deal with almost any blood related stain.

“Most people yeah, have gotten a few that arrive hopped up on caffeine and such though.” Throwing his overalls over the other side of the large double tub sink to dry, Dell hefted his leg up into the large tub and began fiddling with his boots.

One leg in the sink, Dell nearly tumbled over when John’s words brought his head snapping up and around in their direction. Not to look at Taurie though; no he only glanced at Taurie before looking nervously at John, then back to Taurie, doing this until one of them glanced his way at which he would snap back to the tub.

Mouth in a thin line Dell tried to mind his own business but ended stalling and fiddling with his boot. His thoughts hooked on the way John had called him hun, wondering if it meant anything, and too focused on that and listening in than to think about how ridiculous he probably looked.

@askengiecow

[askengiecow]

Taurie seemed to think the affectionate choice of words wasn't a big deal; he'd known John awhile, and knew he wasn't the only person he'd called 'hun'. He had found it cute, but didn't read anymore into it.

As he entered his attention was immediately drawn to his pantsless teammate, Dell's plump ass facing toward John, his leg hiked up awkwardly to boot and John's rather flushed, grinning face.

Good lord they'd been alone five, ten minutes tops.

"What?" He mumbled, looking back to John, then looking down with a frown. Realizing what John meant his face heated up and he let out a frustrated groan.

"Dammit...ah just put these on!" He huffed, trying to tug the fabric away from his leaking udders a little. His waistband was feeling rather constricting. Looked like he'd need to get it together and use the shower after all...

Despite his annoyance he couldn't help but notice Dell still standing awkwardly and finally cleared his throat.

"So uh....just what are you two...ah mean, what are ya doin over there Dell?" He asked, his expression and tone conveying how confused he was.

@ask-ex-engineer-rp

[ask-ex-engineer-rp]

Having not noticed his own word choice with Taurie John has no idea why Dell looks so surprised as his friend comes in, maybe he'd wanted to be finished by the time Taurie got back??

John is so used to giving his friends terms of endearment, especially when he fancies them, so getting a bit more relaxed at the new base the term for Taurie just slipped out.

Chuckling at Taurie's annoyance John does give Dell one more look, admiring the new angle with his leg hitched up, he can't be doing that on purpose right? Feels like he's being teased, so many hot men round him and he can't touch any of them.

Quickly looking back at his old friend, not really wanting to be caught looking by his other crush, he smiles warmly and mirth at the man. He wants to pay the man's arm but keeps his hands to himself and just stands close to Taurie instead, hoping not to make him uncomfortable.

"Might need to deal with the underlying issue Hun," he muttered under his breath as he looks towards Dell to hear his reply as well.

He's pretty sure the answer won't be "showing off my ass" as much as it's what he thinks he's been doing.

@dirty-dell

[dirty-dell]

Hearing no further notice of John’s affectionate name, only that Taurie seeming to have wardrobe problems, Dell smiles and finally took off his boot and sock to then placed them on the shelf above the sink, turning the water back on and starting to rinse the blood off. His smile not uncaring, it was just he had said the same complaint in nearly the same way too many times not to smile.

His smile dropped however as right as he put his hand on the faucet he felt both eyes on him. Dell blushed a little, but pushed through his embarrassment, telling himself he had no reason to feel foolish and turning in the faucet to start rinsing off the blood.

“I made this workshop, I can clean my leg off in it’s mess sink. Don’t act like ya ain’t seen my…” Dell trailed off as he realized Taurie and John were about the only two people on this base that actually hadn’t seen his ass before. Taurie didn’t shower with the team and John was new.

He still wasn’t lookin’ at them but if they hadn’t noticed his blush before they now would as the back of his neck turned pink along with his entire head. “Well, ya see in now, so quit gawkin’.” Dell huffed, hurriedly washing off his blood caked leg then taking it out if the sink and starting to shaking it dry as he whipped his hands on a rag then grabbed his overalls again to start ringing out the pant leg. He hadn’t minded John seeing him figuring the man was bound to see him nude eventually and what he needed to get the blood out of his overall was out here, but now that there were two just staring at his lack of pants he was regretting not just taking a shower.

@askengiecow

[askengiecow]

“Well....ok. If that’s what ya wanna do. Got a load goin’ in the laundry room if ya’d like to toss em in with em real quick.” He offered, looking down at his boots as he lightly scuffed the toe over the floor.

Without looking up at John, he sighed but nodded meekly.

“Ah know.... just sick of it is all.” He mumbled. “Ah’ll be out in abit...”

Looking rather irritated he went over to the washroom, closing the door behind him. Much as he didn’t like showering with anyone so close by he didn’t want to wait and smell like soured milk... Especially in front of the two men outside.

Not that it mattered... He could look and daydream and muse on the what ifs..like getting to touch such a fine ass...

But that was all, fleeting flights of fancy.

Unclipping his helmet he set it on the sink, then yanked his shirt off to toss it over the towel bar. With a pained grunt he tried tugging his trousers off. When the fabric refused to budge, hanging up on the swell of his udders, he felt his face rapidly heating up. When had he gotten so full?

“Goddamn...” He swore under his breath, struggling and pushing on the offending garment and trying his best not to make too much noise.

@ask-ex-engineer-rp​

[ask-ex-engineer]

Seeing Dell's sudden embarrassment as Taurie returns makes John wonder if the man might fancy his friend. He is a sweet man, and they have been on a team together for a while. He does seem flustered now he's here.

He isn't sure how to feel about it. He wants to be possessive of his old friend, a worry enters his mind that he might lose the man when he's only just got to this base . He tries to ignore it though, they have been together a while, and it's more likely the 2 would like each other rather than him isn't it?

As it is John stops looking at Dell as Taurie shuffles into what is apparently a washroom. No need to make the man embarrassed and he's more worried about his friend anyway.

In the quiet room ,and being close to the door, he can hear quiet grunts of pain and swearing through the door . It has him hovering near the door twirling the mop in his hands nervously. He should leave Taurie to it...he's always so shy of his cute little udder, but he seems to be struggling with something.....

Quickly looking over his shoulder to make sure Dell isn't watching him be weird , blushing slightly in embarrassment himself, he leans close to the door and taps very lightly, before quietly calling through the door," You ok Hun? "

I hadnt been on Tumblr much till a few weeks ago so im sorry i didnt reply to this sooner. I'm good, so is John, just been busy with life and to much needing done. this is a very sweet message though, thank you. I hope your doing well as well :)

[ask-ex-engineer]

an addition to my picture yesterday! here is John if he was a RED Engineer, which he is in my RP’s with @askengiecow , and with him is Taurie from that blog, his old friend. 

[askengiecow]

It seemed like such a long time since he'd last seen the RED base, so long since he was last here before his temporary transfer between teams.

As he pulls up to the cracked familiar walls in his truck he can't help the smile pulling at his lips.

He wonders if everyone's still here, still the same as he left. He'd changed a bit since he left....

Hopefully his old friend Taurie is still here though.

As The Engineer climbs out of his truck, a bag thrown over his shoulder he can only hope for the best as he trundles inside in the early morning.

While it was early Taurie was already up and going over his to do list for the day, a mug of steaming coffee in his other hand. He was fixing to go check the wiring in one of the outlets in the infirmary when he heard the sound of a car door.

Pausing he looked back toward the door he had just passed, a slightly confused expression on his face. They rarely got visitors, except for the occasional personnel from administration that delivered their supplies.

Backtracking he tucked his list in his belt and went to open the door.

@ask-ex-engineer-rp

[askengiecow]

Taurie’s brows raise in surprise as John all but confirms he had indeed been injured. While he seemed hesitant to speak about it in the moment it didn’t seem so severe he was unable to, giving Taurie a small comfort.

“Sure, John. Only if ya want to.” He emphasized, not wanting to pressure him into anything.

“Surprised ya still got that old truck of yers. Know yer fond of her. Been doin’ any ‘upgrades’ lately?” He smiled, segueing into the next topic. He didn’t want the rest of the meal to be awkward between them. John had done as much for him time and time again.

[ask-ex-engineer-rp]

Smiling softly as Taurie changes subjects John hums along, it's sweet of his friend to be looking out for him, wanting him to be comfortable.

Yes, he's sure Taurie would take his injury well, he hopes it doesn't freak him out.

" of course I've still got truck, you know I'd never give her up... And got no.. official upgrades," he smirks a little,chuckling as he leans on the table and eats with one hand," my last Pyro was rather enthusiastic about his flamethrower....and well that upgrade make him so pleased," he laughs.

[askengiecow]

Giving a knowing chuckle Taurie nodded. He hadn’t heard of any Engineers in this line of work that didn’t have their own off the table projects.

“You’ll have to show me sometime.” He grinned.

Finishing up his food he leaned back in his chair, trying to get comfortable so his friend didn’t feel like he needed to rush.

“We’ll see about gettin ya a room fixed up. Shouldn’t be in too bad of shape really, sides some dust and cobwebs. If ya want we can take a ride to town later to celebrate ya comin’ here.” He suggested, his smile softening slightly.

[ask-ex-engineer-rp]

As he finishes up his own food John starts messing with his gloved hand again ,though just starts tidying up as Taurie suggests things.

"getting a room would be nice, though a drink in town sounds promising as well, you sure know how to welcome a fella," he teases as he picks up his own as well as Taurie's dishes, " be right back, then we can talk somewhere else, yeah?"

[askengiecow]

"Better appreciate it; ah don't give this VIP welcome to everyone." Taurie smirked, nodding along as John spoke. "Ahm sure we can find a place with some privacy. Can step outside even if ya wanna. Most folks probably winding down in the rec room or their own rooms by this time."

He gave John a smile in thanks as he took his plate for him, standing to stretch and pop his shoulders as he went to wait beside the mess hall doorway.

[ask-ex-engineer-rp]

It doesn't take long for John to come back.

He pat's Taurie's arm with a smile and leads the way out the room, and back towards the workshop they had been inside earlier.

He doesn't have a room yet and would rather not get sand in the gears...

"thanks for today by the way Taurie, it's been a good first day with the team," he smiles softly at the man, gesturing inside the room as they get there.

[askengiecow]

"Shoot, ahm sure you'll get tired of us all soon enough. Might as well keep ya happy til'then." Taurie grinned, stepping into the workshop and going to lean against his workbench.

"So, what is it yer wantin to tell me? You should know by now ah ain't gonna say anythin to anyone less ya want me to." He assured, crossing his arms and reaching up to scratch the stubble along his jaw as he looked at John expectantly.

[ask-ex-engineer-rp]

"oh I know, it's one reason I'm pretty happy showing you, your ma friend ,so I trust ye, and I suppose someone knowing is probably the safe option, but I would rather it not get passed about."

As he speaks John slowly tugs at his glove, loosening the fingers, before taking a breath to steady himself and tugging of the glove.

As it pulls away what is revealed is not an arm of flesh and blood. Instead silver and grey metal is all that remains, along with small cables connecting the mechanical limb to a band on his bicep.

Putting the glove on a nearby surface he offers the limb towards Taurie to look at, rolling the fingers in a smooth motion, which now the glove is removed, caused a quiet clicking sound of gears and metal.

"w-well?" John can't help but add, nervous about how his friend will react. Loosing a limb tends to be bad after all.

[askengiecow]

He had expected to see an injury of some sort, but not for his friend to be missing his entire hand. He looked up at John alarmed then back down at the mechanical appendage.

"The hell happened John? Couldn't ..couldn't ya respawn or get yer Medic to patch you up?"

If John had been permanently injured there must have been one heck of a mess that went down at his last base.

Despite his concern the machinery before him was impressive. He held out his own hand, pausing to look up at to get the go ahead.

"May ah?"

[ask-ex-engineer]

Looking uncomfortable John seems to struggle which an answer to Taurie's questions before sighing, his other hand rubbing over the stubble of his hair," well the team kinda fell apart and respawn got turned off, so there wasn't an easy fix.... It all happened pretty suddenly."

There is more details to what happened... But it makes him uncomfortable to think about still. It is specifically bad as he knew the merc who did it pretty well.

Shuffling closer, to make it easier for Taurie to look at, John forces himself to smile reassuringly and places the metal hand in his friends palm.

"go ahead, I did spend a lot of time on it"

The metal hand ,surprisingly, isn't cold. It's colder than a normal hand but not by much.

[ask-ex-engineer]

It's been so long! How are you doing?

I'm doing well! Thanks for asking!

Just been busy with life, new job and busy family stuff.

It's nice to draw and RP with John again though.

[ask-ex-engineer]

I’ve been back on here for the first time in a while, I love the tf2 Community here and I've been talking with other ask blogs.

It inspired me to draw out John once again!

And I have to say I love how it came out!

[lazily-drawn-tf2]

Are you tired of waking up in the morning and removing limbs and guts from your front lawn? Have you ever thought it would have been a great day to go picnicking, only to be interrupted by the awful sound of agonized screaming and tearing flesh? Are you blaming the innocent mercenaries next door for all the misfortune that has been befalling you and your neighbors the last decade?

Well, Teufort! Today we here at Reliable Excavation Demolition will be clearing up the latter misunderstanding with an official 24/7 Q&A of Team RED!

Leave a letter for our employees, and they will answer your questions with 100% guaranteed honesty! No questions are too incriminating, personal or invasive! You can even ask anonymously! That’s right, folks; NO REPERCUSSIONS!
